To inspire and be inspired while sharing my craftiness on this blog and interacting with my fellow scrappy crafty friends. This is a place for me to share my creations and spread the news about the classes I teach. Have fun browsing...

Hello Scrappy Friends!
We have another challenge over at Use Your Stuff. The challenge this week is Butterflies! Incorporate butterflies into your card, tag, layout, etc. Hope you will play along with us :)
My submission is a few days behind schedule, but I finally finished the final details so I can post it. I have a cute little mini album to share with you today.

I created this album using BoBunny Butterfly Kisses paper.

On the front cover, I added some Prima flowers, Creative Embellishments chipboard scroll corners and some punched butterflies.I used Citron Distress ink to distress some of the flowers, butterflies and tags.

The top photos show a belly band page with a tag that slides under for a small photo or journaling. Each page features a magnetized folio that slides into the end of the pocket page. Lots of room for 4x6, small pics and journaling.

The banners were attached only on the side to allow a phot to tuck in under them.

I created a waterfall that closes shut with a magnet band. There is room for a 4" phot on one side, and journaling on the back of each page.

Thanks for stopping by :). I hope you will hop over to the Use Your Stuff Blog to see all the creativity my teamies have to share! Don't forget to add your own project! We would love to see your butterfly creations!

August was wonderful! We spent much of it at our camp on the lake. I brought a few things with me to have some playtime. Scrappin' at camp was quite relaxing.
The Use Your Stuff Design Team is back from our vacation and have another challenge for you. It is my pleasure to host the challenge this week. I challenge you to use watercolor in your project. You can watercolor your stamped image, make a fun background with watercolor, or use your imagination to add watercolor in some other way.
Here is the card I created for this challenge.

I used water color in two ways. I colored the crazy bird with Marvy Watercolor pencils, and then did a wash of Distress Inks and my waterbrush for the background. The Distress Ink colors I used were: Blueprint, Twisted Citron and Spiced Marmalade.

The party hat and paint brush were stamped from the Bird Crazy Accessories set and fussy-cut as my dies were not at camp with me.

Thr front of the card is offset to leave room for the presents to show from the inside. The presents are stamped from a PennyBlack set "Party Time".

I hope you have found some inspiration and will join us this week with your own water color project. Be sure to stop by the blogs of our talented Design Team at Use Your Stuff.

Summer took off and scrapping slowed down to almost non-existent. So sorry for the delay in getting this posted!!
As part of the bloghop for Use Your Stuff, I offered two drawings for a few prizes for those who left a comment on my post and also for all the new followers! It was lovely reading all the great comments, and I am so excited and honored that some of you became followers.
